What do we know?
First we know that the Doctor get called to UNIT for some reason. Let’s assume (I know, never assume) that
they send a signal out to the doctor and accidentally call 11 AND 10. That accounts for Tennant and Billy Piper
being there. They tell him that they
have a creature claiming to be Elizabeth the first in custody and they need him
to verify who she is. She says that she came
through a time bubble at Loch Ness so that makes her suspect because that’s
where the Zygons were last. This also
accounts for a different actress playing the role. She turns into a Zygon but she is from the
70’s. There is still a time bubble. The Time War is starting to unlock from the
Time Lock The Doctor (John Hurt) put on it.
Lord Benthem and The General are the First Time Lords to come through
and try to warn The Doctor. We get to
see lots of CGI and Green Screen of the Time War, a regeneration or two (8 to
9, 9 to 10 maybe), some flashbacks of the doctor running away (because the
doctor always runs), and we get a plausible explanation for why The Doctor get
more the 13 regenerations and why regeneration 13 wasn’t The Valeyard like it
was supposed to be. (Maybe he sacrifices a specific regeneration to make the Time
Lock that would be a good one to give up)
Of course this is Moffat. He
lies. The Doctor lies. Or so we’ve been told. It is a nice story to cover the fact that
they don’t pay the researchers enough. I think I managed to cover all the shots
they’ve let us see. They certainly have
been generous with what they WANT us to see.
However, what we didn’t see it something else. I am still half betting that the whole thing
was filmed on a sound stage and the stuff we saw was staged to make us believe
what Moffat wants us to believe. The
only reason that didn’t figure into my plot theory is that the Beebs is too
cheap to let Moffat film and throw away the tape. Even if those shots become an additional
episode somewhere on a DVD. I know that
film will be used somewhere. I wonder if
anyone bothered to notice if the cameras they were using were 3D or not? That would make a difference.
Okay what do you think?
Am I right? Were they
faking? Is my Plot spot on? Sound off in the comments!
